Upside down tomato gardens

My Husbands wants one of those upside down tomato gardens... I thought I'd stop by and ask the experts....Do they work?  I saw one at walmart for 10 bucks, is it worth it, or do I need to invest in something of better quality?  Thanks for your help.

  • Yes in fact they do work. They're nifty little buggers, too. I don't know what it is you saw at Wally World so I can't really tell you the quality of that product.

  • We had one last summer and it was terrific. We got the Topsy Turvy brand. When we went to the greenhouse to get the actual plant we let them know what we were doing with it and they pointed us in the right direction for a type of tomato plant that grows well in them.

    FWIW we lived in Alaska and couldn't put it out until the begining of June and we still got a good 2 dozen tomotoes off it before the first winter freeze.

  • I'm not sure what the brand is at walmart, but it looked fairly simple/easy-2-do.  I'm going to google the Topsy Turvy brand.  

    I just don't want him to be disappointed in his first gardening adventure, lol.

    Thanks for the help!

  • How high up do they need to be?  Can I attach it to a fence post or would that be the wrong angle for it?  Is  a Sheperd's hook strong enough for it?
